9:00 AM: Building Next-Generation Healthcare Campuses: Enterprise-Level Master Planning & Strategy

As health systems balance aging infrastructure with the need for growth, leaders are shifting toward an integrated, system-wide approach to capital strategy. This session focuses on the master planning of next-generation healthcare campuses, emphasizing how institutions can align site-specific development with broader enterprise goals. We will explore how to build ‘flexibility’ into long-term master plans, enabling health systems to adapt to evolving clinical models and financial landscapes. Speakers will discuss the art of deploying capital at scale for campus transformations, focusing on how both micro-level campus projects and portfolio-wide initiatives can be executed for long-term viability, flexibility, and operational excellence of the entire enterprise.

9:40 AM: Modernizing Legacy Infrastructure: The Mount Sinai Model for Maintaining Operational Resilience

As aging healthcare facilities face increasing regulatory pressure and the demand for higher clinical performance, maintaining operational resilience has become a paramount challenge. This session goes behind the scenes of critical hospital system upgrades—from essential mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) overhauls to the execution of robust infrastructure master plans. We will examine the “people behind the build,” exploring how engineers and MEP partners collaborate to modernize complex legacy systems like boilers, chillers, and electrical services. Through the lens of the Mount Sinai model, panelists will discuss how to successfully navigate the requirements of Local Law 97 and retrofit aging campuses to meet modern standards while ensuring continuous, uninterrupted patient care.

10:50 AM: Guiding Growth and Operational Excellence in an Evolving Regulatory Landscape

As healthcare systems navigate complex growth and large-scale expansion, reactive maintenance is no longer sufficient. This session shifts the focus toward proactive infrastructure development, the essential roadmap for guiding, gauging, and operating next-generation healthcare facilities. We will explore how institutions are integrating sophisticated financial models and navigating local regulatory requirements to modernize legacy systems while scaling for future demand. Join us to discuss how a well-architected master plan serves as the foundation for operational resilience and strategic growth in an increasingly regulated environment.
